Vodafone, Three hustle to tie knot before regulators crash wedding

Sure, prices won't go up, the same way that we wouldn't be charged for European roaming.

Claims emerge that Citrix has doubled price of month-to-month partner licenses

Broadcom playbook

This is no surprise - and it's straight from the Broadcom playbook.

Since Citrix was bought out by a PE, and installed ex-Broadcom Tom Krause as it's CEO, there's barely a quarter that goes by without a new hire from Broadcom being announced on the ELT.

You want to know Citrix's strategy for 2024? Just look at what Broadcom did 6-12 months ago. It's as simple as that.

Don't like your cell network? Legal unlocking ends TONIGHT in US

@Shitpeas - The first rule of giving abuse on the internet - make sure your point is correct, or you really come over as a self-righteously wrong arsehole.

Operators use contracts to claw back the subsidy. Unlocking does not end a contract.

Five... freshly picked iOS gaming apps

But is it worth 7 quid?

That second sentence there got me very interested until I saw the price...

Apple's MacBook Pros chucked out ahead of iPad 2

Re: "horns of a dilemma"

Social levelling with the iPad

Video Consoles & Games

I've had the same thoughts before about video games - no matter how rich or powerful you are, the chances are you'll be sitting down to the exact same version of Call of Duty or FIFA as everyone else who has forty quid in their pocket.

NXE is a vast improvement over the blades

I'm pretty happy with the NXE so far - okay the UK doesn't have the Netflix part but everything else seems to be an improvement. The way you can now delete games with 0 GS from your gamer history is a godsend, and it seems faster navigating through past achievements too.

@ Alex D - where the hell did you pay £400 for your xbox? The launch price was £280 max...

PS4 and Xbox 720 due by 2012, says Crysis firm

RE: Why do they call it Xbox 720

You muppet, if you turn 720 degrees you'll be facing the same way as you were in the first place!

Sony to bring GTA IV PS3 bundle to Blighty

Where is the hate?

Are my eyes deceiving me? Is this a Reg games console article without any snidey comments or typical fanboy hate from the author?

Oh, I see, it's for the PS3 rather than the Microsoft console, it all makes sense now..

Sony PS3 narrows gap with Nintendo Wii

3rd generation???

I assume you're counting along with the Playstation then?

To me personally this is the 5th gen of consoles, starting with the NES then SNES, PS, XBOX, 360.

However Wikipedia (I know, I know) reckon it's the 7th gen!

Wow - the SEVENTH generation. It's like being in the future.
